Trump Ratchets Up Talk Of Nuclear War With North Korea As Plummeting Approval Ratings And Russia Investigation Dog Him

Earlier in the week, after it was reported by US intelligence that North Korea was now able to produce a miniaturized nuclear warhead deliverable by an intercontinental ballistic missile, Donald Trump threatened that North Korea faced..

“retaliation with fire and fury unlike any the world has seen before”

He went on to say that if Kim Jong Un continued to be "threatening" the country of North Korea would...

"be met with fire, fury and frankly, power, the likes of which this world has never seen before,"

Trump has all the best words the likes of which this world has never seen before.

Almost immediately after Trump's threat North Korea's state-run media announced it was formulating plans to strike the US territory of Guam with “historic enveloping fire” and taunted Mr Trump as "senile", “bereft of reason” and someone for whom “only absolute force can work”.

After seeing how well his idiotic tough guy act failed today Trump decided to double down on it.

From an impromptu photo op held on the steps of the entrance of his private golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey Trump opined that his “fire and fury” threats against North Korea may not have been “tough enough”.

He continued...

"And I will tell you this. North Korea better get their act together or they’re going to be in trouble like few nations ever have been in trouble in this world”

Later in the day, seemingly not satisfied with his initial threat, Trump decided to mouth off a second time from a makeshift pressroom inside the golf club ahead of a national security briefing.

This time Trump spoke of North Korea's threats against Guam...

"I read about we’re in Guam by Aug. 15. Let’s see what he does with Guam. He does something in Guam, it will be an event the likes of which nobody’s seen before, what will happen in North Korea --- You'll see, and he'll see. It's not a dare, it's a statement."

Tough guy Trump then went on to blame previous Democratic Presidents for the present troubles in North Korea. He claimed President Bill Clinton was “weak and ineffective”, while President Barack Obama “didn’t even want to talk about it,”.* Apparently George W. Bush dealt with North Korea perfectly.

Say what you will about his predecessors at least they weren't talking about taking our country into a full scale nuclear war inside of six months of their taking office.
